Perfect for summer afternoons and relaxed city strolls, this vintage Fendi crochet shoulder bag brings effortless charm to casual lunches and weekend getaways. In cream crochet with dark blue leather trim and silver-tone hardware, it pairs beautifully with linen and denim alike, while the flap closure and adjustable strap make it a chic, easy carry from day to dusk.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Fendi Crochet Shoulder Bag? A: With an interior around 25 × 18 × 5 cm, it suits daily essentials such as a smartphone, small or continental wallet, keys, lipstick, and sunglasses in a soft case. Due to the slim 5 cm depth, bulkier cases or water bottles are not recommended. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody? A: This model features a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 15 cm drop. It is designed for a snug on-shoulder, under‑arm carry and is generally not suitable for crossbody wear.
Q: Does crochet fabric stretch with use? A: Crochet can relax and stretch if overloaded. Keep contents light, avoid carrying heavy items (like full water bottles), and don’t hang the bag for long periods. When storing, lightly stuff and lay it flat to help it keep its shape.
Q: How should I clean the crochet exterior safely? A: For routine care, gently dust or lint‑roll. For marks, spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then blot. Do not soak or machine‑wash. Allow to air dry flat, reshaping while damp and keeping away from direct heat.
Q: How do I care for the leather trim? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and colour‑change risk sprays. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, consult a professional leather‑care specialist and patch‑test any product on a hidden area first.
Q: What if the crochet snags? A: Do not cut the pulled loop. Use a blunt needle or a fine crochet hook to coax the loop back through to the inside, then ease surrounding stitches to even the surface. For larger pulls or breaks, seek a knitwear repair service.
Q: Is it rain‑friendly? A: Crochet and leather are not water‑resistant. Avoid rain where possible. If it gets damp, blot gently and let it dry flat at room temperature—no hairdryers or radiators.
Q: How can I prevent colour transfer or stains on the cream crochet and dark blue leather? A: Minimise friction with dark or unwashed denim, keep the bag dry, and avoid prolonged contact with dyed textiles. Consider a suitable fabric/leather protector only after a careful patch test. Note that dye transfer can be difficult to remove, so prevention is best.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. Unless an extra item (such as a dust bag) is specifically noted there, this piece is sold as pictured.
Q: How is this item authenticated and will it have a serial number or hologram? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and brand markings. Depending on its production era, Fendi used different identifiers: many bags from around 2004–2010 include a hologram label, later models may feature an internal RFID tag, and earlier vintages can have printed or leather‑tag serial numbers. The presence and type of identifier vary by model and year, and authenticity is confirmed regardless of whether a visible code is present.
